  Gil - I know exactly how you feel, I also used a R7000 vertical below =
10 mtrs. (luckily I have a homebrew 10m vertical 2el beam that works =
quite well). On the R7000, I only had a couple of replies on CQ. I'm =
afraid replacing coax won't help us, just better antenna$. Hi. In my =
case a few beams pointing at the left coast wouldn't hurt either!
  You're probably right, CW would be a good mode for a marginal (at =
best) station.=20
